FOXO3a in vascular smooth muscle cell apoptosis
2018-01-01
Abstract excerpt
FOXO3a is a pro-apoptotic transcription factor which shows increased activation in vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) of advanced atherosclerotic plaques, specifically within the intimal layer. Since VSMC apoptosis plays a crucial role in the pathophysiology of atherosclerosis, we investigated the mechanisms underlying FOXO3a-mediated cell death in this particular cell type. We aimed to characterise a novel VSMC...
